Case Study

Customer

We received a call from a lady who had been recommended to us by her daughter. She explained that her boss owned a property off of the London Road and the tenants were complaining that bugs were literally falling from the ceiling. Of course she wanted to know if there was anything we could do so we got over there as fast as we could.

Problem

Speaking with the tenants revealed how they had recently begun to notice a lot of beetles on the upper floor so we began our survey there. On our inspection we found a number of Yellow Mealworm Beetle, a pest commonly found wherever there are feral pigeons as they often live and breeds in their droppings. This was puzzling as we wouldn’t normally expect to find feral pigeons in a domestic property so we decided to inspect the attic. As we lifted the hatch to enter there was a flurry of activity from above as we disturbed some of the many pigeons which had taken up residence there. Before we could re-enter the attic we put on our protective clothing and respirators so we could get a proper look at what was going on. There were about 50 pigeons in the attic and the entire floor area was several inches deep with droppings.

Solution

This was obviously the source of the bug problem and a major health hazard to the tenants living in the house so we needed to get a solution fast. We started by evicting the pigeons and sealing the roof where a tile had slipped to stop them getting back in. Once the pigeons were out we could start the massive cleanup operation to remove the years of accumulated droppings.

There are no easy ways to remove pigeon droppings from an attic so we began the mammoth task of bagging all the pigeon waste to be collected and disposed of properly. Once all of the droppings were gone we treated the attic with a biocide and an insecticide to neutralise any harmful organisms and kill any bugs which remained. The final job was to install new insulation and in only two days the attic was as good as new again.

Result

Correctly identifying the pest and understanding their biology helped us to solve a much bigger problem for this landlord when just treating the bugs would not have been enough.

I would recommend Intelligent Pest Control to anyone, the quality of service, flexibility, and professional attitude to all the tasks carried out at our sites has been second to none. There is not a lot more I can say other than they are also really nice people!

I would like to just say that having picked this company more or less at random I cannot say enough times how efficient and well organised I found them to be. They cleared up my problem quickly and with the minimum of fuss and disruption to my home. They were friendly and extremely knowledgeable about their business and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Well done!

In today’s society where we constantly read of “tradesmen” who prey on the vulnerable, it is very comforting to deal with a very professional business that understands and is prepared to work with and around disabled people. You showed consideration for her disability and my sister felt comfortable with you in the house.
